gapfill My Stammering Problem Fill in the blanks with the correct verb. Reuse some words more than once. do / don't / has / have / is / isn't / was Everyone having one problem or another. It may be the need for this or that or the lack of certain things. These problems may be natural or created by circumstances. For example, if a person suffers from a paralytic limb, it natural. On the other hand, if one lost a purse during a trip, it because of circumstances. In my case, stammering the biggest problem. I know how it occurred, but it there, and I to grow with that. I am growing more and more conscious of it as I grow in age. Because I stammer, I am not able to mingle freely with others of my age. Most of them mock me, and very few sympathy. While the ideas roll, words not flow at the same speed. So very often, I blink, which means I am taken for a muff. Because of stammering, I can't retort, and my contribution to a company will be minimal, so I to be very often an idle spectator. Not that I can't give my ideas, but I am unable to speak that fast. So it developed in me an inferiority complex, and nowadays, I shun company. How to overcome the problem. I heard of a great Greek Orator, Demosthenes, who a stammer as a child, overcoming it with some exercise. It told that he put pebbles in his mouth and, standing on the seashore, used to cry aloud. Thus he overcame his stammering. But in my case, I not tried that. But what I nowadays to gather ideas and slowly put them without repeating a word. I am successful to some extent, and I cannot say that I overcome it completely. One thing sure; this stammering of mine blocked specific employment opportunities for me; for instance, I cannot become a lawyer or a platform speaker. Though I like music and enjoy it, I will never become a singer. A pity, it? I come to the wise conclusion that one must put up with that which one cannot improve.
